calling script

andi_1 — Fri, 03 May 2002 17:19:39 GMT

Hi guys,

Suppose, I have one script that is running as user which needs to call another script that must be run as a root.
Is there a way to do it? Set the Sticky bit???

Thank you!

You can set the setuid bit (4000 octal) to do this and the script must be owned by root.

chmod 4750 my.sh

However, this is a glaring security hole. A better answer is to use sudo or a C wrapper setuid program.

use "sudo" in your script

Thanks guys,

But I don't have sudo command on my system?

Is it a 3rd party software?
